Come on. Like 80% of my entire post was devoted to pointing out a gradual erosion of rights over time, and I explicitly stated that it's not the case today.
- ranger_danger 3mo agoSorry, I didn't read that far. I do think this is a classic slippery slope though. But don't underestimate human adaptability. Slippery slope arguments assume that once a technology introduces a specific risk, society lacks the agency to create counter-measures, new norms, or alternative uses for that technology. I haven't found that to be the case throughout most of history.
